(btw, for those of you who think that IPv6 isn't in use, you may now safely ignore this thread).
Then I will safely respond to it in that case ;)

My enviroment is far to be broken my friend. This is not question about me or my environoment this question about your site ,I can always mange to get such a sites if I want but I am not sure that some other people are even awre what the problem is. I think that still majority of ipv6 connections is through 6 bone and there you do have a latency and evrybody using the same dns for ipv4 and ipv6 should re-think it over
I think you should rather paste some traceroutes or use GRH to find out where the problem is. Check http://www.sixxs.net/tools/grh/ for some nice diagnostic tools. And you might want to read Minimal IPv6 Peering by Robert Kießling: http://ip6.de.easynet.net/ipv6-minimum-peering.txt
i would say that I serve a moderate number of web pages a day off my web server. (warning, big!) here are some statistics: http://puck.nether.net/stats.html
this is the first complaint i've received of accessing puck via ipv6 (aside from when i was running a buggy kernel that would cause it to stop responding to the v6 address periodically).
<SNIP> And it works fine here behind 6bone and RIPE space. (Oh and yes this mail should reach puck over IPv6 :) I do have to note that there is quite a big amount of latency at least from Intouch: 2001:418::/32 2001:6e0::2 8954 33 2914 7 2001:418:3f4:0:2a0:24ff:fe83:53d8 (2001:418:3f4:0:2a0:24ff:fe83:53d8) 327.307 ms 308.8 ms 308.631 ms BIT on the other hand as a direct link to Verio... 2001:418::/32 > 2001:7b8::290:6900:1cc6:d800 12859 2914 6 2001:418:3f4:0:2a0:24ff:fe83:53d8 146.572 ms 298.737 ms 146.726 ms 13 puck.nether.net (204.42.254.5) 144.612 ms 146.984 ms 129.067 ms Almost the same latency :)
Either that, or ifconfig down your ipv6 interface or remove the autoconf from your machine as necessary until you have a chance to test it. In the mean time, you can visit the webpage here: http://204.42.254.5/netops/ I try to always use / referencing urls, so it should work just fine for you. If you notice a url that does not just reference /, please let me know.
A smallish hint here: $ORIGIN example.com. www AAAA 2001:db8::1 A 10.100.13.42 www.ipv6 AAAA 2001:db8::1 www.ipv4 A 10.100.13.42 This way one always has a "forced" fallback to a certain service Though for HTTP one prolly has to add them to the virtual hosts. Internet Explorer tends to nicely fall back from IPv6 to IPv4 after a certain timeout depending on how fast an icmp unreach comes back etc and prolly other factors. I haven't tested it with the new Opera 7.20b on Windows though which btw does IPv6 ;) I also don't know how Mozilla handles it as it doesn't do IPv6 on Windows... and I have no X box to test it at this moment...
